Why does everyone in the Union hate Florida so much?

I see a lot of people placing hate on Florida or Floridians as if we’re bad people, or as if our state was such a bad place. It really isn’t because,

It truly is not our fault our state looks like a deformed penis.

We have such a wide variety of cultures and people living in Florida, and we make damn sure they stay the hell away from each other.

We have no shame against our less-fortunate citizens, that’s why we shove our mobile home parks deep into our back woods.

We also provide our urban denizens the choice between a cement box, or a cardboard one.

We’re not all rich and snobby…seriously…

We treat the Everglades with the utmost respect, because they make such great condo locations.

What’s so bad about Boca?

We have a great respect for Gay rights and equality for the LGBT community…I'm just kidding we dont...We huddled them into Ft. Lauderdale, and Miami Beach so we don't have to look at them...

Miami has such a bad reputation…just because the City Council spend a 1/4 of their annual budget to give their mayor a surprise pay raise isn’t as bad as you think…especially since the money was going to be divided up amongst already over-inflated welfare programs like the lottery, and their brand new civic center which has gone a grand total of 1,000,000 dollars over budget…

Miami’s crime problem is WAY overblown…compared to Baltimore…and Washington D.C…and Detroit…and Los Angeles…

We are neither a Red State or a Blue state…we don’t even vote…or legally anyway.

We are indeed a Purple state, which I am proud of…I guess…again we don’t vote

Since 2002 Dunnellon is the only town in Florida where being Black on a Monday is still considered a crime.

The 2000 and 2004 elections were not our fault like I said before we don’t vote…we don't have to anyway...Our State government knows what the best financial investments are...

We are a haven for the elderly which the rest of the nation tosses away as if they old bags of human waste…and we treat them as such…

Our people are so friendly…north of Tampa, west of Jacksonville, and east of Pensacola outside of Tallahassee

The Keys are the epitome of the Floridian culture…which is why we ignore them.

You cannot blame us for the state of our Floridian schools because does it really matter if your teacher has a license or not?...besides our teachers aren’t paid much anyway

Is it really that big of a deal that schools with the worst average student GPA’s are denied funding, or specialized teaching programs?

By the way what does it mean to yield to the right of way?

By the way what the hell is a Seminole…are they like Native Americans?

We may not have the greatest Sport Teams, but our athletes do have the most felony convictions…in any case we do have Shaq

Don’t blame us for Cuban Immigration…we can’t build a wall on a beach.

We have wonderful beaches full of the most leathery old folks, the most promiscuous 13 year olds, fat people in g-strings, sharks and jellyfish…jealous?

What is so bad about teenage pregnancy?

Where else has childhood been degraded to over-priced merchandise than Disney World?

Daytona anyone?

Without Florida, (and our neglected illegal immigrants)…where would you get your fresh citrus from?…That will later be concentrated, doused with sugar, and synthetically processed.

Where would your Space Program be without us?

Stop making fun of us…60 degrees is fucking freezing…

Despite the Fact a large majority of the citizens in Florida speak languages such as Spanish, French, and Creole, I and many others fail to learn any of them…Because English is our National Language...and that is what my spanish teacher dosen't understand...

Obtaining a drivers license in Florida is easy, and accessible to anyone…honestly ANYONE can drive in Florida…

We have terrific weather!...Aside from the constant humidity through April to November, the constant stream of thunderstorms through June July and August and the occasional Tornado, but those only really come around when the Hurricanes do…and we have a lot of those…

No one likes Castro...

So what if we have one of the worst prison systems in the whole damn U.S!...Who cares about criminals anyway…and so what if we also have some of the most horribly funded, maintained, and managed Police and Fire Departments…who cares about them anyway?

Florida ranks fifth in municipal energy use per capita due to the continuous use of air conditioning and pool pumps. It is estimated that only 1% of energy in the state is generated through renewable resources…like I said we care about our natural environment…

Only half our state is considered part of the Traditional Deep South…South Florida is dead to the U.S…like the Keys…that’s good right?

Land in Florida is considered some of the most valuable in the nation…even the shitty places…

Your home is more than just a home in Florida…it is the tackiest thing to come out of a cold war era conceptual architecture magazine since the introduction of the carport…

We are surrounded by water on three sides of our state, and have a big ol’ lake in the middle of it…we are currently under a drought advisement…

We love our Manatees...except when they jump in front of our speed boats...stupid sea cows...

So please we’re not that bad...Don’t saw us off the end of the U.S…think of us as your (although horribly deformed) penis…Where would the U.S be without it?


What good things can you say about Florida?

I don't hate Florida. Took my last two vacations there. Got friends there. I just wish you folks could have figured out how to use your voting machines before the 2000 presidential election.

Florida sucks.

I have nothing postive to say about Florida.

Give it to Cuba.

bad things= big bugs, stupid people (although that's true nearly anywhere)

good things= family members I don't like moved there, which means they aren't here to annoy me anymore and also they don't visit much. :D

It's better than Georgia.

lol

welcome n00bert. funny OP you got there. keep em up!

Don’t you guys make nice orange juice?

Unless you're older than 50, senile, and have arthritis we really don't vote...even if we did, and 100% of our population voted for a single canidate...the other guy would still win...Florida politics...

Don’t you guys make nice orange juice?

No we export all the good stuff...

don't ask me

It's better than Georgia.

I think hell just froze over...

I am indifferent towards Florida.

What good things can you say about Florida?


I've never been.

Trust me thats not entierly our fault...want some orange juice?

Florida's stuck with the reptuation of being home to Bushevik fundies for a few highlighted reasons.

1) The 2000 Election certainly wasn't a good start.

2) Then Dear Leader's brother Jeb thought he was Jesus Christ or Herbert West in that by trying to keep Terri Schiavo plugged in, there was a chance that she would wake up- despite her brain being soup.

3) And then there's that law about women getting abortions being forced to watch an ultrasound of the embryo they're going to abort.

I was born in Florida and have lived here my whole life.

Ooh! I can think of another good thing about Florida! The Bright Futures Scholarship! If I get it (which I probably will), it'll pay 100% of my tuition for college, which I'm really happy about. :)

Because our state could never afford such a thing...

Okay, I'll bite. What is wrong with Boca? I lived there for two years between the time I was 3 and the time I was 5. My brother was born there. It seemed like a perfectly fine place to my, very young, mind.

What good things can you say about Florida?

What area of the Third World Country of Florida do you hail from my Comrade and fellow Floridian?

Anyplace where the local DEMOCRATIC party designs and approves the butterfly ballot has to be full of people with shit for brains...

:) I know! All thanks to our lottery...

Because our state could never afford such a thing...

I am happy about the possibility of getting that (my SAT score was 1410 the way the old score was, so that's good enough for it). I'll have other scholarships in addition to that (got a $400 one recently), and there's a chance I might qualify as a National Merit Semi-Finalist, since I was in the top 1% of PSAT scores. I'm planning to go to USF.:)

...trying to think of some other good things about Florida, but I'm having a bit of trouble...aside from the good memories that I have here.

I'd like some orange juice, please. Straight from the grove.

Anyplace where the local DEMOCRATIC party designs and approves the butterfly ballot has to be full of people with shit for brains...

They didn't actually...most voting machines, and ballots are designed by companies...unless you know something I don't?

What area of the Third World Country of Florida do you hail from my Comrade and fellow Floridian?

Coral Springs in Broward County...we're running out of water and are becoming desperate...

They didn't actually...most voting machines, and ballots are designed by companies...unless you know something I don't?

They most certainly did DESIGN and APPROVE the butterfly ballot...

Florida's stuck with the reptuation of being home to Bushevik fundies for a few highlighted reasons.

1) The 2000 Election certainly wasn't a good start. Bleh[


2) Then Dear Leader's brother Jeb thought he was Jesus Christ or Herbert West in that by trying to keep Terri Schiavo plugged in, there was a chance that she would wake up- despite her brain being soup.
I was waiting for Jeb to declare martial law. When he gave the orders for the state police to get her by any means. I was expecting a Constitutional crisis(Government against government) leading to a shootout. If that happened things would have turned really ugly. With the Protesters wanting the National Guard to kill the police and take her, I lost any belief that the "Religious Right" believed in Democracy.


3) And then there's that law about women getting abortions being forced to watch an ultrasound of the embryo they're going to abort. I'm sure that can backfire some time. "That thing looks like E.T!"

They most certainly did DESIGN and APPROVE the butterfly ballot...

They did?...Do you have a source?

...trying to think of some other good things about Florida, but I'm having a bit of trouble...aside from the good memories that I have here.

Jim Morrison was born in Melbourne

They did?...Do you have a source?

http://www.post-gazette.com/election/20001217chap6.asp

Republicans, on the other hand, argued that the butterfly ballot -- designed by a Democratic election official to make it easier for senior citizens to read -- had been publicized and approved beforehand.

Democrats never disputed the origins of the butterfly ballot.

In fact, another famous Democrat, Mayor Daley, was famous for using them for years (in Chicago).

I apologize remote, I was unaware a single party was actually allowed to design ballots(they really should do something about that)...would you like some orange juice?

Now come on say something sarcastic about Florida...

And that's just from the past week.

My understanding is that Florida is Americas wang. I guess I'll find out when I go there next year.

Ugh, I hate Florida for reasons that include but are not limited to:

1. Cut the Florida Orange juice crap. I'm sick and tired of hearing about how, "Get AIDS or drink a glass of our Florida OJ"

CRAM IT ASSHAT! I DON'T CARE!

2. Way to go guys, I didn't know it was possible to have a python problem since you clowns buy enough exotic snakes to actually release them into the wild to the extent that they can live and breed freely. :rolleyes:

3. You guys get hit by hurricanes every single year and complain about it. You know they're going to come, we shouldn't waste our tax dollars fixing your state so you can repay us by forcing us to buy 4 dollar bottled water and 17 dollar burgers at your precious Disney World.

4. It's hot and hot places suck, with the exception of Arizona.

5. Drugs, anyone?

6. It's America's wang, despite the fact that America is femanine, along with cars, ships, etc.

Florida, a.k.a. God's Waiting Room.

Half the teachers from the Mid-Atlantic/North East have retired there. ;)

It's better than Georgia.

So is a taser to the testicles.

So is a taser to the testicles.

Have you a basis for comparison? What you need is someone who has both been to Georgia AND taken a taser to the testicles to make that judgement.

<_<

>_>

...

Taser. :p

Florida sucks.

I have nothing postive to say about Florida.

Give it to Cuba.


Stop hatin' man! :(

I think hell just froze over...

Yes... quite.

Trust me thats not entierly our fault...want some orange juice?

Or maybe some illegal Cuban immigrants? :D

I was born in Florida and have lived here my whole life.

Stop making fun of us…60 degrees is fucking freezing…


Hahahahahahahahahahahaha!

No, America is male. "Patriotism" not "Matriotism".

Easy way to tell. ;)

But Liberty is female, as is Justice.

Which explains why they didn't get a vote for quite some time, and still are rarely elected to office.

Why does everyone in the Union hate Florida so much?

I see a lot of people placing hate on Florida or Floridians as if we’re bad people, or

They are jealous of our weather. *nods*

They are jealous of our weather. *nods*

:confused: The weather sucks man haha

Are you serious? It doesn't snow and the sun is out about 360 days out of the year. I fail to see how its bad.

Thanks. I'll see if I can remember another such quote.

That's pretending you don't have hurricanes flattening your cities right? :p

Most of Florida is great. I really like Pensacola.

On the other hand, the people of Miami are just plain RUDE. And I'm talking about people in the service and tourist industries. The last time I was there it was with a convention right on Miami Beach. When the wheels of the plane left the runway to take us home, the whole plane load of people cheered. Not one of us ever wanted to see Miami again.

I don't hate Florida, never been there. My daughter went to Navy boot camp there - She hates Florida.

I hate Florida because of swamps, alligators, and Miami Vice.;)

The Kennedy Space Center is cool, though.

i've never been there but i've been other places "in the south", so i can say with reasonable confidence; a, the weather's too damd hot. b, the humidity is too damd high. and c, which is only by reputation, but it seems to be well earned, that the political corruption makes the chicago mafia look like a kindergarten.

lmao! Me too! :)

Yay!:)

What area of the Third World Country of Florida do you hail from my Comrade and fellow Floridian?

I'm near Bradenton.

Florida, America's banana republic. Except they grow oranges there, not bananas. But "orange republic" just doesn't have quite the same ring to it, does it?

Only places in Florida where I've spent a meaningful amount of time are Fort Lauderdale and Key Largo. Oh, and the middle of Biscayne Bay. I spent all of four hours in Miami, most of them in a bar at the marina. (Alas, I wasn't drinking; I had to pilot the boat out of the harbor, and you don't want to be driving a 42-foot sailboat in between huge freighters while drunk. This can be very bad for the sailboat. The freighters, on the other hand, probably wouldn't notice.)

I was born in Florida and have lived here my whole life.

Ooh! I can think of another good thing about Florida! The Bright Futures Scholarship! If I get it (which I probably will), it'll pay 100% of my tuition for college, which I'm really happy about. :)

^ Good thing about florida.

I don't know why "everyone" hates Florida, but I do know why the lefties hate it.



Because I'm here.:p

^ Good thing about florida.

Are you referring to me, or the Bright Futures Scholarship?:p Based on what you said in the TG, you're talking about me.:p

It truly is not our fault our state looks like a deformed penis.


Yes it is.

What good things can you say about Florida?

Never been there, so unfortunatly, I can't say anything good about Florida... fortunatly, I can't say anything bad about it either. :cool:

Yes it is.

:( damn...

Are you referring to me, or the Bright Futures Scholarship?:p Based on what you said in the TG, you're talking about me.:p

Got it in one. :D

Got it in one. :D

Hooray!:p

Hooray!:p

Always a pleasure Miss Chandelier. ;)

Always a pleasure Miss Chandelier. ;)

Of course.:)

Pfft. Florida blows. I've got a better one.
Why does everyone think Northern Virginians are inbred southerners? We're pretty much part of DC.

Have you a basis for comparison? What you need is someone who has both been to Georgia AND taken a taser to the testicles to make that judgement.

<_<

>_>

...

Taser. :p

if this was from anyone else, I would ask for proof of the taser experience... but since it's you LG... I'll take your word for it.

Why do you flame Florida so much?

Why does everyone in the Union hate Florida so much?

I see a lot of people placing hate on Florida or Floridians as if we’re bad people, or as if our state was such a bad place. It really isn’t because,

It truly is not our fault our state looks like a deformed penis.

We have such a wide variety of cultures and people living in Florida, and we make damn sure they stay the hell away from each other.

We have no shame against our less-fortunate citizens, that’s why we shove our mobile home parks deep into our back woods.

We also provide our urban denizens the choice between a cement box, or a cardboard one.

We’re not all rich and snobby…seriously…

We treat the Everglades with the utmost respect, because they make such great condo locations.

What’s so bad about Boca?

We have a great respect for Gay rights and equality for the LGBT community…I'm just kidding we dont...We huddled them into Ft. Lauderdale, and Miami Beach so we don't have to look at them...

Miami has such a bad reputation…just because the City Council spend a 1/4 of their annual budget to give their mayor a surprise pay raise isn’t as bad as you think…especially since the money was going to be divided up amongst already over-inflated welfare programs like the lottery, and their brand new civic center which has gone a grand total of 1,000,000 dollars over budget…

Miami’s crime problem is WAY overblown…compared to Baltimore…and Washington D.C…and Detroit…and Los Angeles…

We are neither a Red State or a Blue state…we don’t even vote…or legally anyway.

We are indeed a Purple state, which I am proud of…I guess…again we don’t vote

Since 2002 Dunnellon is the only town in Florida where being Black on a Monday is still considered a crime.

The 2000 and 2004 elections were not our fault like I said before we don’t vote…we don't have to anyway...Our State government knows what the best financial investments are...

We are a haven for the elderly which the rest of the nation tosses away as if they old bags of human waste…and we treat them as such…

Our people are so friendly…north of Tampa, west of Jacksonville, and east of Pensacola outside of Tallahassee

The Keys are the epitome of the Floridian culture…which is why we ignore them.

You cannot blame us for the state of our Floridian schools because does it really matter if your teacher has a license or not?...besides our teachers aren’t paid much anyway

Is it really that big of a deal that schools with the worst average student GPA’s are denied funding, or specialized teaching programs?

By the way what does it mean to yield to the right of way?

By the way what the hell is a Seminole…are they like Native Americans?

We may not have the greatest Sport Teams, but our athletes do have the most felony convictions…in any case we do have Shaq

Don’t blame us for Cuban Immigration…we can’t build a wall on a beach.

We have wonderful beaches full of the most leathery old folks, the most promiscuous 13 year olds, fat people in g-strings, sharks and jellyfish…jealous?

What is so bad about teenage pregnancy?

Where else has childhood been degraded to over-priced merchandise than Disney World?

Daytona anyone?

Without Florida, (and our neglected illegal immigrants)…where would you get your fresh citrus from?…That will later be concentrated, doused with sugar, and synthetically processed.

Where would your Space Program be without us?

Stop making fun of us…60 degrees is fucking freezing…

Despite the Fact a large majority of the citizens in Florida speak languages such as Spanish, French, and Creole, I and many others fail to learn any of them…Because English is our National Language...and that is what my spanish teacher dosen't understand...

Obtaining a drivers license in Florida is easy, and accessible to anyone…honestly ANYONE can drive in Florida…

We have terrific weather!...Aside from the constant humidity through April to November, the constant stream of thunderstorms through June July and August and the occasional Tornado, but those only really come around when the Hurricanes do…and we have a lot of those…

No one likes Castro...

So what if we have one of the worst prison systems in the whole damn U.S!...Who cares about criminals anyway…and so what if we also have some of the most horribly funded, maintained, and managed Police and Fire Departments…who cares about them anyway?

Florida ranks fifth in municipal energy use per capita due to the continuous use of air conditioning and pool pumps. It is estimated that only 1% of energy in the state is generated through renewable resources…like I said we care about our natural environment…

Only half our state is considered part of the Traditional Deep South…South Florida is dead to the U.S…like the Keys…that’s good right?

Land in Florida is considered some of the most valuable in the nation…even the shitty places…

Your home is more than just a home in Florida…it is the tackiest thing to come out of a cold war era conceptual architecture magazine since the introduction of the carport…

We are surrounded by water on three sides of our state, and have a big ol’ lake in the middle of it…we are currently under a drought advisement…

We love our Manatees...except when they jump in front of our speed boats...stupid sea cows...

So please we’re not that bad...Don’t saw us off the end of the U.S…think of us as your (although horribly deformed) penis…Where would the U.S be without it?


What good things can you say about Florida?

It's a tourist trap. End of.

Why do you flame Florida so much?

eh...I was hoping this thread would evolve into one long joke by taking relativly obscure/well known/ironic/just plain moronic facts about Florida and make fun of them in a sarcastic, and childish way...everyone is just making straight fun of it though...oh well...on to New Jersey...
